Train Companies on JourneyCheck
Posted on November 21, 2012
Reading time: 1 minutes.
Today has turned out to be a disruptive day to be travelling. Flooding has been the main problem and tomorrow is said to bring its share of problems too. With that in mind, I decided to see if I could find which train companies used JourneyCheck as a place to look for live travel information. The list is below, with links to the actual JourneyCheck websites, and you’ll see that not every train company has one.
- Arriva Trains Wales
- c2c
- Chiltern Railways
- East Coast
- Great Western Railway
- First Transpennine Express
- Greater Anglia
- Hull Trains
- London Midland
- London Overground
- Northern Rail
- ScotRail
- South West Trains
- Southeastern
The websites of course are only good as the information that’s entered into them. Regarding the Northern Rail one, I have seen complaints about the train formation information (number of carriages, mainly) not being as good as it could be. Otherwise, they could have their use on days like today when you need more information than can be provided by a Twitter feed. If you use an RSS feed reader such as Google Reader, then they could be even more useful again. After all, with engineering works and station problems listed along with train running information, these look like good places to be looking while on the move.
